A concise synthesis of a versatile chiral C4 building block for 2-aminoalka
nols, (1S)-1-[(4R)-2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxolan-4-yl]-2-hydroxyethammonium ben
zoate (la), was described. 1 (1a and its enantiomer 1b) acted as four stere
oisomers of optically active 2-amino-1,3,4-butanetriol. The versatility of
I was demonstrated by its application to the practical synthesis of nelfina
vir (2), a potent HIV-protease inhibitor, as well as by the stereospecific
synthesis of three diastereomers of 2.
